    No, it’s American. This is the Japanese government telling the US government to stop being nationalistic about the US Steel/Nippon Steel merger.

      I looked it up, it’s owned by a Japanese company. They bought ownership of it, 70% in 1993 and then 100% in 2005, so it did start as an American company.
